McCain's Top Adviser Won't Campaign Against Obama Open Thread

February 15th, 2008 8:35 PM

ABC's "Political Radar" blog reported Wednesday (h/t NBer Gat New York, paragraph break removed for space):

On Wednesday, a top adviser to John McCain said more definitively than he has in the past that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election..."I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

If you were McCain, would you fire this man immediately due to his obviously divided loyalties? Any other thoughts, NBers?
